In NYC? Join us for a PernixData/IPM Breakfast!

Here’s a quick plug for my company IPM who is organizing a great breakfast event on April 17th for Virtualization Enthusiasts. The event is sponsored by PernixData and will feature guest speaker Frank Denneman. I’ll be there and am looking forward to hearing Frank’s presentation.

Frank is among the foremost authorities in the world in regard to running optimized VMware environments. He co-wrote with Duncan Epping the authoritative book on VMware HA and DRS. He edits one of the top VMware blogs in the world that is available at http://frankdenneman.nl/.
